Unsuspected clonal spread of Methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> causing bloodstream infections in hospitalized adults detected using whole genome sequencing
2021-12-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Though detection of transmission clusters of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections is a priority for infection control personnel in hospitals, the transmission dynamics of MRSA among hospitalized patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) has not been thoroughly studied. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of MRSA isolates for surveillance is valuable for detecting outbreaks...
